This comes from mentality of a given country I believe.
In my own east european country, we have a stable Roma population (about 10%), of which cca 98% never work. They already rely completely on welfare system, to the point of making enough children to have large support payments (families with 10 kids are common, 15 is not unheard of, although kids are sometimes running around bare naked in the snow).
I can imagine quite a few countries would literally stop if given the option to just now work
